The ongoing monopolisation case against Google in the US is at the centre of the technology world. DuckDuckGo CEO Gabriel Weinberg, who testified as a witness during the trial, stated that the value of Google’s popular browser Chrome could reach up to $ 50 billion.

Google Chrome’s selling price has emerged

Weinberg emphasised that this figure is a ‘rough estimate’; He said that DuckDuckGo’s financial structure is not enough to support an acquisition at this level. Despite this, it is rumoured that the company could buy Chrome if financial obstacles are overcome.

Other technology companies such as OpenAI and Perplexity have also announced that they may be interested if Chrome is offered for sale. These developments show that Chrome will arouse great interest in the technology sector if it goes on sale.

The lawsuit, filed with the support of the US Department of Justice, had previously attracted attention when US District Judge Amit Mehta ruled that Google had illegally created a search engine monopoly. After this decision, various sanctions and solutions such as the sale of Chrome began to be discussed. However, there is currently no final decision from the court.

Google, on the other hand, does not favour selling Chrome voluntarily. The company has made it clear that it will object to a possible sale decision by the court. The litigation process has the potential to affect not only the search engine market but also the general internet ecosystem.
